The ship has a strange wooden door next to the bridge(s?), nobody know where it goes because It refused to open to anything, even explosives. Many people think that the wood part is just a hologram, and the real material is underneath it, but 2 people are now convinced that magic exists.

It's actually the hologram door.

In the early stages, there was a critical failure of the thread drive, creating an anomaly in the engineers bay.
This anomaly causes random environmental changes to happen every 100.17 days.
After almost every change, a new engineering team has to be hired, usually because the old one can not survive under the new circumstances, but sometimes because they forget to leave in time and die (in most cases very very painfully).

Currently, the engineers bay's environment more or less resembles that of the planet Venus in the Sol system of the Milky Way galaxy. (ID: Milky_Way.Sol.Venus).

The cause of the failure has been fixed long ago, but the Associates never found a way to get rid of the anomaly.

Most people agree that the view of the Gamble from the front is reminiscent of the view of a human's hips from behind.

The ship's cat is actually a sapient feline alien named Bob, who gets paid to sit around on the bridge and act important.

An old, prototype food vendor disappeared from the canteen early in the Gamble's history. Many years later, the corpse of a crewman was found with an imprint of a soda can top in his forehead, and to this day, you can sometimes hear advertisements for long-gone food brands ring through the maintenance tunnels.

The ship is around 1/5th Maintenance tunnels by Volume.

One of the maitenance tunnel entrances is covered in blood. Noone goes near it for fear of the room it may lead to...

There is a potato battery plugged into the power grid.  No-one knows why, but if you take the potato battery off of the grid, it collapses.

There is also a tomato battery connected to the weapons system. If taken off, all power to weapons dissapears, and that power instead goes to the hydroponics basins that hold the vast majority of the plant life in the ship.

By diverting the power to the Hydroponics Basins, one can quickly grow new tomatoes for a tomato battery. This is necessary because they tend to rot away unless the tomato battery is stored in a vacuum.

...You can't make a battery out of a tomato, can you?

If you can make a battery out of a potato, you can make one out of a tomato.
